They want to be in the middle of centralised AI, go gain monopoly power and wealth.
This seems the antithesis of Autonomi.
Personal AIs, storing data sets on Autonomi, to be ran securely on our own devices is where we need to get to. Then we can share our private and personal data with them, without risking it being in another cloud honeypot.
AI needs big machines to run right now. In a few years, mobile phones will be capable, at a consumer price point.
ChatGPT will have to open up or die. Same for the rest.
When people work together, they can achieve great things. But if they can’t talk, they’re not necessarily smarter than ants, at least according to a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Seeing increasing amounts of botsplaining, and expect it to increase as more people trust these convincing charlatan proxies and give their agency over to those who control LLMs:
I understand your point, still use it cautiously and mainly for my personal amusement, however, I think people are falling into a boomer trap here. Most people on this forum are absolutely leagues beyond me as it pertains to technology in general, software development, etc. I cannot understand why any thinking person would not want to hammer away at it and expand your mind.
Lol. There’s just way too much knowledge to be gained there by average people from AI. I can’t imagine being a smart young kid and sitting through 12 years of institutionalized hell. I don’t think taking advantage of all this new tech by anybody is knocking one out quickly.
Iv knocked some out with the best of them.
And of course you use what you have got at hand to get where you are going.
I’d never take a woman on a date and tell her Guess what I was on porn hub all last night it says you are going to love “xyz” you are one lucky girl that porn hub exists.
I normally do the opposite, I loudly profess my ignorance in all things everything, makes life much easier.
I do think 99% of people don’t read AI paste though and it boils down to anyone of us can instantly get the same.
Unlike a article or a post or a meme which is almost on par but perhaps slightly more shareworthy as those are things that might be missed and are not as easily found.
I have only ever used AI in response to any online convos but twice, ever. Both times were on this forum. In both cases, I announced my usage of it. The first, was in an attempt to get people who actually know what they are talking about to discuss a DNS system (justified). The second, was to speculate—in jest—as to the success of various crypto tokens during the next altcoin season (probably not the greatest of ideas). I have nothing but respect for the elders here, but I believe we are going to have a huge problem if the community at large is hostile to crypto and AI. Don’t get your panties in a twist. We’re all on the same team.
Just to add my perspective. I’m not anti-AI, I use AI in the course of dev. Never to write code, but to discover API and such. I do however disregard AI used in discussion. I want to know what others have to say, even (especially?) non-technical people, not what the AI response was to what they typed into a prompt.
Not sure how this is even questionable among people this intelligent. Let’s take a look at just one real world example:
Man on the street asks AI: “Can you tell me how roadstershop was able to build a 1,600 hp Buick Grand National?”
X Says: The Roadster Shop’s 1,600 hp Buick Grand National is a heavily modified custom build that transforms the iconic 1980s muscle car into a high-performance beast while retaining its classic aesthetic. Below is an overview of how they achieved this, based on available information:
Key Modifications
Engine Upgrade:
The original Buick Grand National’s turbocharged 3.8L V6 was replaced with a 7.0L (427 ci) LS7-based small-block V8, a naturally aspirated engine modified for extreme power.
Twin-turbochargers were added to the LS7, significantly boosting output. The turbo setup, combined with advanced engine management, allows the engine to produce approximately 1,600 horsepower.
The engine was built with high-performance components, likely including forged internals, upgraded fuel injection, and a robust cooling system to handle the immense power and heat generated by the twin-turbo setup.
Custom Chassis:
The Roadster Shop replaced the factory chassis with a custom-built chassis designed for superior rigidity and handling, capable of supporting the extreme power output.
The chassis incorporates modern suspension components, including adjustable coilovers and upgraded control arms, to improve cornering and stability at high speeds.
Drivetrain and Transmission:
A heavy-duty transmission, likely a strengthened automatic (e.g., a 4L80E or similar), was installed to handle the 1,600 hp and deliver power to the rear wheels.
The rear axle was upgraded with a reinforced differential and axles to withstand the torque and prevent breakage under extreme loads.
Braking and Tires:
To manage the car’s immense power, the Roadster Shop installed high-performance brakes, likely large-diameter rotors with multi-piston calipers, for superior stopping power.
The car rides on custom wheels wrapped in high-performance tires, providing the grip needed for acceleration and cornering with 1,600 hp.
Body and Aesthetics:
The exterior retains the Grand National’s iconic look, with subtle modifications to maintain its classic character. This includes the black paint, chrome trim, and signature styling cues.
Aerodynamic enhancements, such as a refined front fascia or subtle spoilers, may have been added to improve stability at high speeds.
Advanced Technology:
The build incorporates modern electronics, including a sophisticated engine control unit (ECU) to manage the twin-turbo system, fuel delivery, and ignition timing.
Additional tech, such as upgraded gauges or a digital dash, was likely added to monitor the car’s performance in real time.
Build Process
Engineering and Fabrication: The Roadster Shop, known for its expertise in custom chassis and high-performance builds, designed and fabricated the chassis and integrated the twin-turbo LS7. Their in-house team handled precision engineering to ensure all components worked harmoniously.
Testing and Tuning: After assembly, the car underwent extensive testing, including dyno tuning to optimize the engine’s performance and street testing to verify handling and reliability. Videos show the car hitting the streets with the owner, indicating real-world validation of the build.
Collaboration: The project likely involved collaboration with specialists in turbocharging, engine building, and tuning to achieve the 1,600 hp target while ensuring drivability.
Weight Distribution: The LS7 and turbo system are heavier than the original V6, so the chassis and suspension were designed to maintain balance.
Preserving Character: The Roadster Shop prioritized keeping the Grand National’s iconic look, which meant subtle modifications rather than aggressive body kits.
